 Growth
puts strains on all aspects of an entrepreneurial business. Hiring more
staff, expanding the resources necessary to support new customers,
managing cash flow, building new systems to support your business, and
so forth all take time and attention. If you do not get these issues
taken care of properly, your business can suffer or even fail.But, growth also creates personal challenges for the entrepreneur. Here are some of the more common issues that entrepreneurs wrestle with as their business grows: - Delegation: Your "baby" is now a "teenager" ready for more independence Letting go is tough for most of us. We have been with our business all the way through its growth, through the good and the bad times. But at some point, if we want our business to grow successfully, we have to begin to delegate. At first it will seem that no one can do what you do as well as you can. But just like raising a teenager, at some point you have to begin to let go so they can learn and grow up. Your business will go through this same difficult transition. If you don't begin to let go, .... click here to read more

The Master Negotiator
To equip
participants with winning negotiating techniques with a focus on
Communication, Closing Techniques, Personal Growth Areas & Intuition,
Imagination, Role plays, Win / Win and motivation through case studies, self
evaluation, group interaction and Emotional Intelligence.
Intended for secretaries, P.A’s and office assistants who,
apart from taking a refreshing break would acquire time
saving techniques and be extremely motivated to return to
their work places. It would act as a refresher to all the
organizing skills, which were left behind during the daily
fire fighting activities.
A glimpse of Intek's Previous Workshops |
Living
in a big city provides more opportunities of meeting your role
models; may they be Philanthropists, Politicians,
revolutionaries or Management Gurus, everyone has to come to the
city either to buy bread or break bread with their friends.
I
was lucky to meet Stephen Covey last month. Against all my
pre-conceived notions he was a down to earth, friendly and very
warm and sweet guy. He reminded me of my grandfather who would
wear his best suit from his Police Service days, and try to
mould the personalities of the rowdy teenage grandchildren
around him. 
Can
you talk to Share-holders about anything other than the profits
or $$$$s? The workers have to work, the managers have to manage,
the salesman has to sell & the CEO’s have to play golf !!! 
Steven
Spielberg movie? I started searching the net for robots in the
corporate world and I found many sites who were promoting robots
to increase production of goods. The site proclaimed that only
10% of the industries used robots while the rest are using human
labour ( as if it were derogatory)
The
human body was not built to live in isolation, it feeds on the
human emotions around. We laugh and cry with our friends and
families. We like to go to the familiar face at the check-out
counter at the supermarket because I want to be recognized and
related to. I would rather deposit my cheque with the lady at
the bank rather than the machine because I trust the human more-
with all its faults & errors. 
colleagues
at work mean more to me than my family at times, because we have
borne hardships of the various challenges together. It is not a
part of my job description (it’s the Manager’s job) to motivate
the people around me, but I do so, because eventually it
motivates me. I want to acquire the leadership skills at my
level of management so that when I reach the top of the
Corporate ladder I can tell my share-holders that, if we just
continue to concentrate on the commercial end-results we will
get a marginal profit every year, but if we motivate and
encourage our people more we can triple our profits.
Are
you focused on what you want to reach? Or rather on what you don't want?
The power of "positive thinking" consists in finding a positively stated
goal. Bill Gates gives a nice example in his book
Most
people with university degrees wear glasses. It seems to be a fact of live.
The more you use your eyes, the worse they get. Now, is this really so? Some
compelling evidence that the truth may offer other options promoted this
subject to "case of the month".
When
most people think of innovation, they envision developed-world companies
such as the U.S.A.'s IBM, Japan's Sony, South Korea's Samsung, Finland's
Nokia, or Switzerland's Novartis, technology leaders that have stayed at
the cutting edge of dynamic industries such as computer hardware and
software, consumer electronics, and pharmaceuticals. Such companies hold
many important patents and boast R&D labs that rival facilities at the
best universities in the world. They are headquartered in countries with
myriad institutions that support innovation: liquid financial markets
and venture capitalists to fund big bets on technology, research
universities that mint PhDs, and a clear legal framework that protects
intellectual property.
Our purpose in developing an International
O.D. Code of Ethics are threefold: to increase professional and ethical
consciousness among O.D. professionals and their sense of ethical
responsibility; to guide O.D. professionals in making more informed
ethical choices; and to help the O.D. profession itself function at the
fullness of its potential.
